Communication:

Leila asked if there had been comments on the mailed Covid
19 Update.

Marjorie has not had any requests for mailing additional
updates. She mentioned that she had several calls from folks who live in the
Greater Portland area and have summer places on Chebeague. A general discussion
ensued re: a message to people who have places on Chebeague but aren’t here
now.David Hill cautioned that an
outbreak of the virus on Chebeague would be dangerous because of the lack of
resources.Some restraints are in
place currently including limited boat trips and closing the Rt. 1 Parking Lot.These are discouraging people from
coming right now.

Erika agreed that we need a new update to reinforce the stay
at home/shelter-in-place and quarantine for 14 days policies that are in
place.The consensus of the group
was that the update should include specific examples of how the island is being
impacted by the threat of the virus such as the store etc. The message needs to be sensitive to the
feelings of those people who currently are not on the island but wish they
were.Melissa asked Leila if she and
the Team could come up with a draft to share with the Selectmen.Marjorie will work with the
communication team to draft a message that will reframe her previous message,
which is still pertinent.It will
be read at the Selectmen’s meeting, will be posted on the Town WEB site and
Chebeague.org. Carol will send it
out via the CTC text message system.
